Game
Dragonian: The Imbalance of Sierr
9 years ago

Two-year Anniversary


Hello. I’m NukeOTron, and I make video games.
Two years ago, I released the first build of Dragonian: The Imbalance of Sierr. It was a 3D Zelda-type game made with Game Maker 8.1. It is what it is. I admit it has its faults, but it was my second big 3D action game. Also, I still have to thank those who believed in this game.

I have thought about making a sequel to this for a few years now. The problem is that GM Studio isn’t as friendly about it, especially in 3D graphic rendering.

As for future projects, here are a few ideas I’ve been bouncing around:

Staff of Laria- My big RPG. In all technicality, I’ve been working on this game for about 12 years now, most of it refining the story. It can be made on GM Studio. I’ll still need help making it, especially background tiles and redoing the battle system.
Project Dragolanx- If you’ve looked in the NukeOTron Sucks Collection, you’d notice a little game I made called The Other Phalanx. It had a good story and my personal sense of humor of 2013, and I enjoyed making it. So, why not make a sequel to THAT instead, but with some elements of Dragonian as well?
Silverblade- What if Ironsword actually DID have the barbarian on the cover, and actually DID go through time and space like he was supposed to after Wizards and Warriors 3?
Belgrad- Yes, another one of these Metroidvanias. (…and strangely, Belgrad: Curse of the Castle is relatively popular.) This time, I want to base it more on Simon’s Quest’s map style. I’ll still want a musician to help if I do this one.
Another 3D Action Game- No idea what.

I may have been meaning to do some of these, but I bought a 3DS. :P

Anyway, what do you people think? Should I continue my escapades in the world of game-making? If so, what should I do?

Strangely enough, of all the games I've made .exes of, this is the one that STILL works on my current computer. And sometimes, I realize I made some poor decisions in game design with this one.

In case nobody noticed before, a lot of elements of the Robot Maid game come from the Shiro Ninja games, and ideas I would've done for a sequel. This guy is gonna behave like a similar guy from Shiro Ninja Mayhem, but fit this game's art style.

Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.

The Saw-Pod is a machine for lumber work. It uses a bigger laser chainsaw, can cover the user's face, and has a built-in jetpack for those hard-to-reach places.

You'll have to beat them up in-game, though.

Concept art time!

Early on, Tiel had a backpack because in the fic she was originally created for, she was going on an adventure along with Rick. That's why I was kinda attached to her.

I think I now understand why that construction vehicle company is called Caterpillar.

...and that's just the wheels for this boss.

If there's one thing I learned from looking at the graphics of NES Batman, it's that they put gray highlights with red shading to make metal look a little rusty.

I'll know if I did my job right when I get to actually making the level.

This is literally one of the first cutscenes, after the first level. Like I said, I'd rather do Sega CD-style cutscenes, but this will do.

...it's also the most complete-looking cutscene right now. I thought you'd like a look.

As part of the game's canon, there's been an ongoing war in the Amazon Rainforest. It's a war between the loggers and the environmentalists.

That being said, these trees have been "shaved off" for in-universe and future gameplay reasons.

All that work doing research on the Amazon Rainforest as a level, and THIS is what I come up with?

...well, I'll change the tiles later. I want the ground to be more foresty, and that means working on a tileset.
